WBS: Symphony Concert: Feast of the Violins

Milan Kostelenec and Vilém Jirsa, winners of the first two places at the Václav Hudeček Academy in Luhačovice in 2024, will perform on our stage accompanied by the ZSO. Our orchestra regularly collaborates with this prestigious competition for young artists, and performing with our orchestra is a reward for the best of them. Among the winners of previous years are names such as Josef Špaček, Jiří Vodička, Jan Mráček, and many others, now well-known names who started their stellar careers thanks to this competition. We hope that Milan and Vilém will enjoy the same success. Come and support them in their soloist debuts!
